News Flash! There Won't Be Another Date! —50 faux pas that men make in dating— Stephanie Bailey

Ladies a lot of the time we wonder why a guy doesn't call us back, but what about when we lose interest in him? So...he wonders why you don't want to continue dating or why you have just dropped off the map?! Maybe it's because he has done one or more of these things while on a date with you:

1. Having his phone out on the date

2. Talking about his Ex incessantly

3. Having you chip in to help pay for the date when He asked you out

4. Expecting you to pay on the first date

5. Forgets his wallet

6. Being cheap

7. Telling you, "next time you pay"

8. Not having a generous heart

9. Not paying attention to your allergies or food restrictions

10.Drinking too much/too fast

11.Wanting to take shots with you on a first date

12.Not being able to hold a conversation

13.Talks poorly about his mother

14.Belittles or completely takes no interest in what you do for a living

15.Planning every date around happy hours

16.Consistently not planning dates (can't decide on the restaurant or making reservations)

17.Texting: unless someone he knows is in the hospital or he's an on-call doctor—texting during a date is not acceptable

18.Leaving the table to answer his phone (again, not on-call and no emergency) and being gone for more than 5minutes

Thank you for the Vote Up dashingscorpio. I agree, no one likes the "use too's." People should be authentically put in the effort when it comes to dating--- verses playing games.

It shouldn't be hard to treat someone you care about with love, and respect. :)

Some very funny reasons not to have a second date! Voted up!

Of course I'd rather have someone "be them self" than fake me out on the first date. It sure would save you a lot of time. LOL!

Seriously the worse thing is having someone be on their "best behavior" just to get you to (emotionally invested) in them and then afterwards they revert back to their "authentic self". That's when the woman tells the guy; "You (use) to open my car door." "You (use) to compliment me." I guess in some ways we're better off knowing how a person (really is)! Eventually they'll either change on their own or meet someone who is cool with the way they are. :-)

Thank you DDE. Yes, commitment can be scary but when you can trust in love and put in the effort...it's not so frightening :).

Great list Stephanie - another is ALWAYS wanting you to drive. I don't think he always has to drive, but always wanting you to drive to where he is centrally located (if you live more than 30min apart), always meeting at his place before going out instead of yours, or always wanting you to drive yourself, and he always drives himself - it would be nice to go places together......not just meet there:0), and my neighborhood is nice, too - lol.

This was a very interesting hub Miss-Adventures. Most of the things on your list are just common sense and if I guy does them, he's obviously not mentally ready for any kind of committed relationship. However, a lot of women attempt to change things they have absolutely no control over. Thumbs up on your hub.
